Plastidip question for front grille

[simmo3187]

Hi all

Really quick one really...

I'm going to be spraying my front grille today (just th chrome bit anyway)

If I use plastidip is there any orep to be done e.g sanding etc??

Or is it just a case of ensuring the surface is clean?

I do have some primer and other black spray but thats going to take a while and a lot more coats (i know I will acheive better results this way) but I haven't got the time to do it this way

Also I believe that the plastidip can be peeled off afterwards if required therefore protecting the chrome bit?

Quick answer would be a massive help as I'm off out to get some this morning

Thanks

Just clean surface. If you use primer you won't be able to peel it off later so don't use any.

thanks

I watched them vids too, just can't stop thinking about the top rated comment & the size of his right arm lol

As for plastidip jus done mine, went badly wrong first few times and wasted a lot :( came out okay in the end but will prob do again.

only advice is shake the can for at least 5 mins!

Nice job. I'd like to do this ! Now already !

Question - is it insurance declarable ? I doubt it but you know how sad they can be

[eric87]

Is there different shades of black you can get? Ie satin, gloss, matte?

Looks nice, but just watch at the bottom. Mine started to lift and peel away where water gathers and sit

Yes you can get a gloss or matte black... I went for the matte option and I'm really pleased
